I went looking for a car and was drawn to this one because of its color. It’s silver and I thought it would go with my hair and a lot of my clothes. Very superficial, I know. I just knew I needed another car and knew nothing about purchasing one. It is a mid level I believe, not real large but plenty large enough for myself and grandkids when they are with me. I took it for a test drive and like the way it handled and also liked the information the salesman told me about the mileage and other features. Since I didn’t see any other cars I was drawn to on that lot and didn’t want to go to others, I decided to buy it. It has not given me any trouble and the only thing that has been replaced was the battery which went out last summer and the tires that needed changing at the inspection last fall. It had about 23,000 miles on it when I bought it in 2012

The absolute best thing about Corollas are the reliability of them. They will take you from place to place consistently without any problems. A lot of other cars will break down or need parts replaced consistently where as the Corolla will not. When it does need parts, the parts are very affordable. It was my first car in high school and still is with me to this day. The only con about this particular model is that it wasn't new enough to have an aux jack or USB car charger. That, however, can easily be changed.
